Turkey Bacon Club Food

TURKEY & BACON CLUB

Steps:

• Grill the bacon until crisp, then drain on kitchen paper.
• Butter one slice of bread on one side, then cover with the turkey, a little mayonnaise and the lettuce.
• Butter both sides of the next slice of bread, then put on top of the turkey.
• Spread a little mustard over the bread, then arrange the bacon on top, with the sliced avocado.
• Butter the last slice of bread and put on top. Press the sandwich down lightly, then cut in half diagonally.

FOCACCIA TURKEY BACON CLUB

Steps:

• Preheat oven broiler.
• Slice the foccacia bread in half horizontally so you have a top and a bottom piece. Place on a cookie sheet with the cut sides up.
• Mix the olive oil, garlic powder, and oregano in a small bowl. Brush each cut side of the bread round evenly with the oil mixture.
• Place under the broiler until the bread slightly browns (watch closely - this only takes a few minutes).
• Remove the bottom bread section from the cookie sheet. Place the provolone cheese evenly on the top bread section. Return to the broiler until the cheese is melted (again, watch closely). Turn off the oven.
• Finish building the sandwich on the bottom bread section by piling on the basil, avacado, turkey, and tomato. Add the top bread section, and slice into servings.
• I like to serve this sandwich as a meal with Italian chicken tortellini soup or tomato soup.

TURKEY-AVOCADO CLUBS

Steps:

• Toss the onion with the vinegar and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Let stand 15 minutes, then drain. Meanwhile, cook the turkey bacon as the label directs until crisp.
• Mash the avocado with the yogurt in another small bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Lay 4 slices of bread on a cutting board and spread with half of the avocado-yogurt mixture. Top with the lettuce and tomato and season with salt and pepper. Add a layer of turkey breast, bacon, cucumber and red onion. Spread the remaining avocado mixture on the remaining 4 bread slices and place spread-side down on top of the sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half to serve.

TURKEY CLUB KEBABS

Steps:

• Make the kebabs: Combine the turkey, vegetable oil, lemon zest, paprika and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Thread the turkey onto six 12-inch skewers. Wrap 2 bacon slices around each skewer, overlapping slightly, to cover the turkey.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the kebabs, turning often, until the turkey is cooked through and the bacon is crisp, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, lemon juice and parsley in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the kebabs in rolls with lettuce and tomatoes; drizzle with the dressing.
